Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.32%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.26%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 1.48%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.65%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Number plate does not meet standards 0.52%
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.45%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Common advisories
Brake pads wearing thin (8.9%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.52%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.52%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.52%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.16%) · Anti-roll bar pin/bush showing wear (1.1%)
